Editorial Reviews

The Southern California complex freeway system is something

to behold, maybe the best in the world in its connective

tissue with communities. The only problem is that it

doesn’t work so well for much of the time. When the traffic

jam stops us in our tracks, we wonder why. Jeff and Mary

rip the curtain back to tell us the story in this book that is

powerful for the commuter, the student, and politician.

Get out of your car and buy this book!

—DON BARRETT, founder of LA Radio People

and LARadio.com

Many significant news events have occurred in Southern

California over the past 30 plus years. The one thing they

all have in common is the calm, commanding, compassionate

voice of Jeff Baugh telling the story from high

above. As I think about those stories it’s Jeff’s voice I hear

narrating them in my head much like the way Vin Scully

would call a key ninth inning of a Dodgers playoff game.

This book accomplishes in print what Jeff has done for so

many on the radio.

Stick With Us and We’ll Get You There provides a unique and

creative approach to facing life’s challenges. So many of us

spend so much of our lives “on the road”. Driving has many

meanings both pragmatically and psychologically. Walker

Baron and Baugh, in their different but compatible perspectives,

employing freeway driving and road metaphors, touch

the life experiences of so many individuals. Their book will

certainly provide insight into life’s challenges.

Stick With Us And We’ll Get You There is creative, imaginative,

resourceful and intriguing as we join Los Angles

and life roadway traffic. Imagine flying in an airplane to

discover self-help skills. This book helps us stay alert to

maintain good mental and emotional health. I’ve already

used the concept of Botts Dots with my clients.

—HEATHER HALPERIN, LCSW-recipient of the

National Association of Social Workers’

Life Time Achievement Award

This is a captivating, courageous and insanely creative

book. It juxtaposes perspectives that shed light on deeper

meanings of familiar scenes.
